Abstract:Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral Amiodarone in ventricular arrhythmias in elderly patients.Method:87 elderly patients with ventricular arrhythmias were randomly divided into the control group(n=41) and the treatment group(n=46).The treatment group was as the same procedure of the control group except administrated by oral Amiodarone.The efficacy and adverse reactions in patients in two groups were observed.Result:Compared with the control group,the efficacy of treatment group was statistically significantly increased(P<0.05).There was no significant difference of the incidence of adverse reactions between the control group and treatment group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the control group,oral Amiodarone can significantly improve the efficacy in ventricular arrhythmias in elderly patients.
